In April National Theatre Wales, Volcano and Welsh National Opera joined forces with a team of internationally acclaimed artists to bring a unique multi-sensory experience to Swansea.
Touring through the old public library in Swansea, the performance included singing librarians, extraordinary dances, and a little more noise and disruption than is usually allowed in a space such as this.
Volcano is an internationally renowned touring company based in Swansea which has produced over 25 shows using a powerful physical style coupled with visual impact and innovative use of text.
The music was written by Peter Swaffer Reynolds, a multi-instrumental composer who has worked with circus, silent movies, theatre, dance and site-specific events for over 20 years. He spent formative years in Europe and Scandinavia learning from some of the most excellent musicians of improvisation and composition.
Other partners on this project included: Taliesin Arts Centre, Swansea Metropolitan University and Gwalia Cyf.
An active online community followed the show, ranging from blogs, to images, discussions and more. Examples can be seen to the right of this page, or to read more please click here
